About us

A college built around one idea

Healthcare is learned by doing it. Everything here is arranged so our students spend as much time as possible with equipment in their hands and patients in front of them.

Our story

Training the people hospitals actually need

Al-Barr College of Nursing and Health Sciences was set up in Faisalabad to train nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals to a standard that hospitals can rely on. Our campus sits at Pharala Mor on Dijkot Road, close enough to the city to be easy to reach and close enough to the surrounding districts to serve the students who need us most.

We run eleven approved programs across two families. The nursing and midwifery side is recognized by the Pakistan Nursing Council. The allied health side is affiliated with the Punjab Medical Faculty, Lahore. Both sides share the same approach: small enough classes to ask questions, teachers who have done the job, and as much hands-on practice as we can fit into the timetable.

A healthcare qualification is only worth what the holder can actually do with it. That belief decides how we teach, what we spend money on, and who we hire.

To train healthcare professionals who are competent on their first day of work, and who treat every patient with care and respect.

Message from the Principal

Choosing where to study is one of the biggest decisions a family makes, and I do not take it lightly that you are considering us.

What I can promise you is this. Our teachers have worked in hospitals and laboratories themselves. Our labs have equipment that works. Our students spend real time on real wards, because that is the only way anyone learns to care for a patient properly. And if you have a question at any point, from your first phone call to the day you graduate, our door is open.

Come and visit before you decide. See the labs, meet the faculty, and ask us anything you want.
